Layers feel amazing 🌟 — my profile might give a small spark 🎶.

[Verse]
Take it apart tear the seams wide open
What’s real stays while the fake gets broken
A puzzle of truth scattered on the floor
I’m not scared I’ve been here before

[Prechorus]
Pick up the jagged edges sharp and clear
Rebuild something better leave the fear

[Chorus]
Rearrange the pieces one by one
Strip it down till the work is done
What’s left what’s true what will remain
Put it back together again

[Verse 2]
The shine is gone but the heart still glows
Underneath the glitter is where it shows
Lost the map but I’ve got my hands
Shape the chaos into something that stands

[Chorus]
Rearrange the pieces one by one
Strip it down till the work is done
What’s left what’s true what will remain
Put it back together again

[Bridge]
Throw out the lies keep the spark
Build a fire in the dark
It’s not perfect but it’s mine
Worn and real it’ll shine

Rearrange the Pieces

Lyrics: 
~Japanese~

俺の人生は
祟りだ
燃えたい魂
でも腐ってる

腐りきった肉を
燃やすことのように
俺に火をつけるものはいなかった

深い落とし穴
今日も落ちる
落ちて深くなり
明日も落ちる

這い上がるのに
一日を使う
ここからは
出ない奴もいる

ここは地獄じゃない
でも俺らはここで
自分の落とし穴を
深くしなければならない

俺 / Ore - Demo

(Verse 1)
You slide in like static on the radio
Midnight perfume, dressed in vertigo
Eyes like crime scenes, lips a cigarette
I lit your fuse, but I’m the one who’s wrecked

(Pre-Chorus)
You said, “Love’s a game,” and I’m a bad sport
Always chasing hearts I can’t afford

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Verse 2)
We danced like secrets on the fire escape
Your laugh was louder than my big mistakes
I should’ve known from the start,
You play guitars like you play hearts

(Pre-Chorus)
Said “Don’t get close,” but pulled me in tight
I lost my head in your blacklight

(Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
You’re poison wrapped in silk and gin
I swear I saw heaven when you said my name
Now I’m coughing up stars in your hurricane
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Every kiss a crime, and I got convicted

(Bridge)
And now your ghost is in my speakers
Singing lies in perfect pitch
I tried to quit you cold,
But you're the needle and the itch

(Final Chorus)
Velvet cigarettes and neon sins
I’d light you up all over again
Even if it burns, I’ll take the flame
You're the bruise that feels like fame
You taste like trouble, and I’m still addicted
Love like yours should be restricted

A redone track from a song I did years ago, just wanted to do it again.

I was thinking about putting it on the EP, But it really didn't quite match with the rest of the songs so I'm uploading it as I guess  bonus song


Anyway,

Gone Missing

A new song, dark blues rock this time. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Oh oh  
You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in sleep  
Eyes stitched shut with greed  
You don’t even hear the scream

There's frost in the blessing, the fire's gone cold  
The silence you cherish was bought and sold  
Hands that once built now just claw for more  
Eyes glazed over, blind to the war  
You praise the lie, but curse the whore

There’s so much distress  
The world’s a rotted mess  
They treat truth like trash  
Feast on the clash  
They’ll betray you for cash  
And call it finesse

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Wading through sin in your Sunday best  
Open your eyes  
But you just confess

You sleep with your pockets turned out  
Pray to gods who cash you out  
What you reap, you sow  
But you never plowed  
No sweat on your hands  
Just blood from your mouth

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in the bones of the deal you made  
Open your eyes
Now your future’s delayed

They’ll betray you for cash
(And laugh while they do)
Ain’t no saving grace
Coming back for you

You're in Deep

The Battle Within

Reshape Reality

Concrete walls, ticking clocks, neon traps.
Escape the Grid traces a way out of a world too rigid to breathe.
Distorted guitars, spiraling tension — run to the edge, where the colors break.

Escape the Grid

1988 is more than an album—it’s a time machine back to the glory days when heavy metal ruled the airwaves, the stage, and our hearts. From 1980 to 1989, a generation of denim-clad dreamers and leather-bound rebels forged anthems that would echo through eternity. This project is a loud, unapologetic celebration of that golden decade—of pounding drums, screaming guitars, and the brotherhood of true metal fans.

Every song on 1988 is a salute to the legends who inspired us, and a rallying cry to all who still carry the torch. Turn it up, feel the power, and remember: metal never dies—it only gets louder.

Searching For My Ghost

We’re The 2-11, a Sydney-based band channeling the magnetic spirit of Britpop and the raw pulse of post-punk/dance-punk. Fueled by the timeless grooves of the ‘80s and the dance-punk revival of the early 2000s, we blend melodic hooks with driving rhythms to create a sound that’s equal parts nostalgia and electric new energy.
